Ground breaking, innovative and revolutionary, Steve Vai has continued to push back musical boundaries with work as varied as recording with the 100 piece Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra to writing the sound track to Guitar Hero III.

The London Guitar Show has a reputation for putting on unmissable live concerts featuring the world’s best players and the shows organizers are very excited to announce this will be Steve Vai’s only UK show in 2009. Even better Steve Vai will be joined on stage by guitar great Phil Holborne, and legendary Iron Maiden drummer, Nicko McBrain for a truly historic concert.

Equally as thrilling, Steve Vai is bringing his hugely successful Alien Guitar Secrets Masterclass to the London Guitar Show. This unprecedented opportunity is open to all, music students and guitar enthusiasts and will have very limited places. The 3 hour unique experience gives the student a once in a lifetime opportunity to hear Steve discuss music theory, guitar techniques, the music business, and most importantly, techniques on how to discover and unlock personal musical identity. It also includes a question and answer session, and a few attendees will be chosen to jam with Steve in this intimate environment.
